The home

Sold with no onward chain, a charming Victorian home set along a popular residential street in the heart of Horfield. This beautifully proportioned three-bedroom home offers over 1,090 sq. ft. of flexible accommodation arranged across two floors. Combining characterful period features with tasteful contemporary updates, the property enjoys a bay-fronted reception room, generous bedroom proportions and a low-maintenance north-facing garden. Entry is via a traditional hallway which immediately hints at the home’s Victorian heritage, with high ceilings, detailed cornicing and well-balanced room proportions throughout. To the front of the house is a bright and inviting lounge, centred around a large bay window which floods the room with natural light, whilst exposed wooden floorboards and feature alcoves add warmth and character. A separate dining room sits to the rear and provides an excellent entertaining space, flowing naturally through to the recently updated kitchen.

The kitchen has been thoughtfully modernised with sleek cabinetry, contrasting worktops and subway tiled splashbacks, whilst retaining a practical layout with direct access out to the garden. Beyond this is a stylish ground floor bathroom finished with contemporary black fittings and useful space for laundry appliances. Upstairs, the sense of space continues with three well-proportioned double bedrooms arranged around a central landing. The principal bedroom spans the full width of the home and benefits from another attractive bay window. A second modern shower room serves the upper floor, making the layout particularly well suited to families, professional sharers or those seeking guest accommodation.

The outside space

Externally, the rear garden faces north and has been designed for low maintenance, with paved seating areas and raised borders creating an ideal spot for outdoor dining and entertaining throughout the warmer months.
